## Description

Auto Hide Admin Bar makes the WordPress Toolbar disappear – and reappear when hovering
the mouse pointer over the top of the browser window.
 You end up with a clean view
of your site, and keep having access to the WordPress Toolbar. If you have any comments
or questions, please use the [support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/auto-hide-admin-bar).

## FAQ

### Can this plugin be translated in my own language?

Yes, see the [WordPress translations](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/auto-hide-admin-bar/).

### This plugin was recently adopted, what’s the plan?

No changes are planned for the end user. The plugin will remain backwards compatible.

the settings to make it not slide in as quick does not work. no matter what, the
moment you put your mouse near the top of the page, the admin bar will show itself.
other than that very good.

Simply beautiful! I don’t know why this option not include WordPress at this time.
I mean, this dynamic hiding option, not only show and hide.

The admin bar still pops up when you hover your mouse over the top of the screen
but disappears when the mouse is moved away.
